RESEARCH POSTER

Research posters are commonly seen in research conferences that include poster
presentations. Research posters are visual representation of data that has been organized and
consolidated into an easily digestible format. It presents important information of the research
concisely and attractively to the academic community. The poster is usually a mixture of brief text
mixed with tables, graphs, pictures, and other presentation formats. In a normal conference, the
researcher stands by the poster display where discussion can be made with the participating
audience.

For the final term of Capstone, you are to make/draft a research poster of your own research
from Practical Research 1 and 2.

Mechanics:
• A research poster includes 4 main sections: Introduction, Materials and Methodology, Results,
and Discussion, and Conclusion (very similar to the parts of your research manuscript).
• Introduction usually includes Background, Objective/Purpose, and Hypothesis. Materials and
Methodology may include presentation of materials, methods used, and models employed.
Results presents significant findings in charts, tables or other appropriate figures. Conclusion
includes Recommendations, Implications, Acknowledgement.
• We will follow a portrait format for the research poster.

• A typical poster contains about 1000 words ONLY, or about 250 words per section. With this, you
will really have to condense your manuscripts such that you only include the important parts in
each section.

• You have two options, to do it electronically or manually. Rest assured that your output type will
not affect your grade.
A. Electronic Output
- You may use Microsoft Office or platforms to create your poster. MS Publisher or MS
PowerPoint is suggested. You can do this using your laptop, desktop, or smartphone.
- In your file maker programs, set the page size to 36” by 48”.

• It is expected that you are done with the final revisions of your research paper and that
feedbacks were given by your Capstone teacher.
• This is to be done individually. For concerns, you may address it to your capstone adviser for you
to be guided.

Design:
• Here are basic rules to follow:
o Simple is good.
o Make important information stand out.
o Line things up.
o Don’t make it crowded.
• Keep your background non-distracting.
• At quick glance, a viewer should be able to easily identify the sections of your paper. Make your
title and section heading stand out.
